Let's Talk Shop with Russ:

I was one of the guests on the Let's talk Shop with Russ show last night. Russ's topic this week was scroll saw anatomy and the difference between entry level and more advanced machines. The show is long but if you are interested talking scroll saw you may find it interesting. I think we put out some good information so if you have some time to kill grab a cup of coffee, sit back and start the video.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.__________________________
